Instructions
Part I – Project Scope Document
You will take on the role of Project Manager. As such, you will determine the project scope and project schedule for SuperPacks. This task has two parts. In the FIRST part, you will use the Project Scope Document Template to develop your project scope document. In the SECOND part, you will use Tab 2 of the Project Schedule Template to develop your project schedule and include it with your written analysis. Tab 2 will provide you with the unexpected events information needed to complete your analysis.
Develop the project scope document to include the following information:
- Project description

- Project risks (initial assessment)
The Project Scope needs to be developed prior to any analysis of unexpected events.
